I haul tankers and all I see is dry vans sitting on the truck stops during midday its really worrisome when theres so many of them sitting
Dave_in_AZ Thanks this. -
Then why can’t they pay drivers well? Supposedly their profit margins are slim so I doubt they are negotiating top rates.

Well, I heard it was those Landstar guys runnin that cheap freight...77fib77 and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.

Same as hauling cheap as an OO. They pay what the market will bear. If a few thousand guys walk off the job, POOF instant pay raises across the board.Midwest Trucker Thanks this.

3458 miles. Start recaps tomorrow. 1000 miles to go. 2 loads. This delivers Monday at 0900. Left house last Friday.
Miles include all DH.
$11.2K to Landstar. About $8K to me. $6000ish to the good after fuel, truck, and blue sky. 10 days total.
Truck 2 is about the same, maybe a smidgen more. But he's planned out until the 24th. -
A lot of brokers and shippers read TTR. I think maybe you just shot yourself in the foot but you haven't started bleeding yet.
